The mem and swap lines have enough room to show eight significant

The extra detail is valuable; it should not be elided.

Due to a poorly constructed temporary fprintf
used during development, an earlier commit went
a little too far in its computations. The net
result was the code looked nice but actually
accomplished nothing.
It is the /proc/stat line 1 (summary line)
whose tics must be used in establishing the
threshold boundary. And that calculation
need be performed just once per frame.
This commit ensures one threshold calculation
per delay interval no matter how many cpus
are ultimately displayed.
It also corrects scalability by factoring in
the total number of online processors.
Reference:
commit 9e7dd43ab7
Along the way to width override support (-w switch),
this top began clearing the screen far more often
than his predecessor. In fact, it happend with each
user keystroke.
This commit dramatically reduces those occurances.
The screen will now be cleared only when an actual
SIGWINCH is received.
Thanks for identifying this flaw belongs to:

subject: added output width/height override support to top, + misc
The original approach to potential % CPU distortion due
to Nehalem type cores being turned off completely when
idle worked ok until the user typed something.
At that point, elapsed tics would no longer equal the
calculated value producing an undesirable 100% idle
condition until the next update or <Enter/Space> key.
This commit employs actual elapsed tics in determining
whether a cpu should be considered idle and thus makes
top's individual cpu display immune to user keystrokes.
This patch provides for cpu cores which can be turned
off completely when idle (Nehalem, etc.) thus registering
very few or no tics since the last update cycle.
When CPU_ZEROTICS is not defined (the default), any
displayed cpu with less than a certain amount of total
tics will show as 100% idle. That amount is tempered
by the delay interval and total number of cpus.
This commit also satisfies the Debian 'top_nohz' patch
(11/24/09) in a slightly more efficient manner. That
patch concerned kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ.

Prior to this patch, top was able to handle any hotplugged
cpus *added* to the system in two distinct ways.
1) Newly added cpus would be detected by sysinfo_refresh
calling the library's cpuinfo function, which occurs
at most every 5 minutes.
2) The user could force a refresh using either the
<Enter> or <Space> keys.
Unfortunately, the *loss* of a cpu would produce an early
exit due to a /proc/stat read failure. Such a failure
can be produced in the following way:
sudo echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu??/online
This commit allows top to tolerate the loss of cpus.
It also provides for more efficient CPU_t management,
especially for massively parallel cpu environments.
Note: Changes to the cpu compliment can produce a single
cycle distortion of cpu percentages. Such distortion is
most visible when each cpu is being displayed. It can
be eliminated with a forced refresh via <Enter>/<Space>.
With the introduction of the 'locate string' provisions,
the precedent for calling tertiary helper functions from
secondary do_key helper functions was established.
This commit simply migrates some additional keys out of
the do_key function itself and into the more generalized
key table.
Normally, when the chosen sort column is displayed via the
'x' command toggle the entire column is highlighted. And
while this version of top substantially reduced the cost
of such highlighting, a small pathlength increase remained.
The USE_X_COLHDR define was an experimental alternative which
eliminated all recurring runtime costs for such emphasis by
highlighting the column header, not the entire column.
The previous implementation required colors to be turned on
(the 'z' toggle) for such highlighting to be visible. This
commit extends column header emphasis to include monochrome
displays as well.

Since its inception, this top has improperly handled an
empty HOME environment variable. Under those conditions
a path to the root directory would have been constructed.
That caused no real harm upon startup since the display
defaults would have been employed. However, except for
root, it would have been impossible to save the rc file.
This commit keeps the promise made in the documentation.

Clean the global list of symbols contain only functions and variables which
are being called from library. The removed symbols are internal for the
library, which means they can be changed without changes to programs using
the library. This clean up should help incoming libprocps clean up work.

This code currently uses error_at_line() from error.h, so pull it in.
Long term, this might get moved to c.h as a local helper on err.h,

Add new command line options -e, --echo to display what is

because an union had to be changed to struct to allow name and

This commit addresses a long standing buglet (debian #441166) which
surfaces when the display mode is switched between task and threads.
An extra procps refresh is now forced upon such a transition which
parallels the approach used at startup for the exact same reason.

The dejagnu tests for slabtop are skipped when "/proc/slabinfo" is
unreadable due to permissions. This commit provides the same check
for vmstat under its -m (slabinfo) option.
The man page has examples like sysctl -p filename. Optional arguments
using getopt cannot have a space between the option and argument.
So the correct format is sysctl -pfilename
On non-linux systems, uts.version provides the version of that
specific kernel (FreeBSD or Hurd version, for example) and not the
emulated procfs pseudo version.
On those systems we need to directly read /proc/version and parse the
string. This change replaces Debian patches gnu-kbsd-version and
complain_unmounted_proc patches.
procps automake defines restrict which means the binaries for procps
binaries compile. However external programs may not of defined
restrict which means they will not complie if they include files found
in /usr/include/proc.
Includes from libc6 use __restrict and if is good enough for
them, its good enough for us.
Makes Debian patch makefile_watch_ncurses redundant.
watch was being linked to NCURSES_LIBS when it should of been
WATCH_NCURSES_LIBS which can be ncursesw with 8bit enabled.
Even as conservative project as coreutils has switched to xz distributions so
neither should we have any reason to use gz and waste space & bandwidth.
